Did they want it to break? Would it have been more valuable if it broke? Is it the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera ? The glass that is ceremonially broken at the end of a Jewish wedding? A plate which fulfills the same role at a Greek wedding?

Did they want it to break? Would it have been more valuable if it broke? Is it the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera ? The glass that is ceremonially broken at the end of a Jewish wedding? A plate which fulfills the same role at a Greek wedding?I can't believe it! You got it on the first guess! I was thinking of an Italian wedding, but it also works at a Greek ceremony.

Can pastors do that? Then again, I think my synagogue had an interim rabbi once who married a non-Jew. She may have converted though. And he was a terrible rabbi. He threw cake at me and told a 96-year-old man who told him to speak louder that he should "get a hearing aid". There's a reason he never became a full-time permanent rabbi anywhere.
